ToyotaTech15 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Looks quite clean,Im not sure how much that is lowered by if any, it doesnt look that low for 40mm but its hard to tell from the pics,Nice exhaust aswell from what i have seen it looks like an apexi one but im not 100% sure, personally im not to keen on the wheels but white on white is always good lolGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bucketep91 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 a wee update on this. Not a good 1 though as above, when my car was in japan it had a wee bump to the rear qaurter panel at the passenger side, it was repaired well u cant even notice it (i didnt when i baught it) BUT... the sill was starting to rust a wee bit during winter due to the salt on the road so i had a wee look behind the sideskirt and its getting pretty bad, only thing i can think of is that when theyve been repairing it theyve had the sideskirt off and screwed the skirt fixings into the sill without treating it So I've been planning to get a new sill put on and painted up for summer. Well today i got the new sill and paint and stuff and i decided to take the sideskirt off to see how bad it actually is and it was holding quite a lot of water i took some pics to show u so...... :harhar: i almost fainted when i seen how bad it actually was but i have the new sill and its going in on monday after the rolling road day on sunday. so it will be getting cut out, a new 1 in its place and any other little bits are getting touched up so i cant wait. the guy kept telling me its not that bad haha "not that bad" yeah rite lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
